Using RAWeb

By default, RAWeb is available at https://127.0.0.1/RAWeb. To access RAWeb from other computers on your local network, replace 127.0.0.1 with your host PC or server's name. To access RAWeb from outside your local network, expose port 443 and replace 127.0.0.1 with your public IP address.

The following resources from the RAWeb wiki are also helpful when getting started:

• Publishing RemoteApps and Desktops
• Supported environments
• File type associations for RAWeb webfeed clients
• Trusting the RAWeb server SSL certificate
• Configure hosting server and terminal server aliases
